There's a saying at Hollywood station that the full moon brings out the
beast--rather than the best--in the precinct's citizens. One moonlit
night, LAPD veteran Dana Vaughn and "Hollywood" Nate Weiss, a
struggling-actor-turned cop, get a call about a young man who's been
attacking women. Meanwhile, two surfer cops known as Flotsam and Jetsam
keep bumping into an odd, suspicious duo--a smooth-talking player in
dreads and a crazy-eyed, tattooed biker. No one suspects that all three
dubious characters might be involved in something bigger, more
high-tech, and much more illegal. After a dizzying series of twists,
turns, and chases, the cops will find they've stumbled upon a complex
web of crime where even the criminals can't be sure who's conning whom.
Wambaugh
once again masterfully gets inside the hearts and minds of the cops
whose jobs have them constantly on the brink of danger. By turns
heart-wrenching, exhilarating, and laugh-out-loud funny,
Hollywood Moon is his most thrilling and deeply affecting ride yet through the singular streets of LA.
